So, I went searching, and maybe my search-fu is weak, but I didn’t see a thread dedicated to discussing Demon Squad like there is for Dr. Mordrid. So, unless someone can point me to one, I’m starting one now. I just started the episode, and will provide some thoughts as I watch it over time.
Here’s my first thoughts from the first few minutes:
I LOVE the bit about Dr. Erhardt’s horrible squeaky voice
Wait… how is Joel ALIVE in the year 3000?
Primary evidence that Synthia is truly EVIL - She actually LIKES circus peanuts
That’s just from me being four minutes in. I’m excited to have Joel back again in an episode proper.
Again, if there’s already a thread for this somewhere, I apologize. Feel free to merge this one into that one… if that’s possible on this platform!
08:30 - For some reason the dude trying to pick up the demon at the bar gives me a real “Nate Begle” vibe. I know that we’re not supposed to talk about him around here for “some reason”, but he just does. I think it’s the hat maybe.
15:20 - Why is Nick Moon (I can’t believe Nate Begle is our protagonist!) so SWEATY? They missed a “Mitchell” style opportunity to joke about the sweat.
17:21 - Okay, as a “computer guy”, I have to complain - motherboards do NOT spark like that… especially not when NOT PLUGGED IN. Ugh, what were they THINKING???
21:30 - I’m SHOCKED that Joel knows who Selena Gomez even is… maybe I’m just in “old man” mode here… but old guys keeping up with youth culture? Unthinkable!!!
In another thread there was a link to a nice interview with the filmmakers and I think they said it was 2 years in post production for effects and music. There were some great effects!
Great to see Joel in host segments for the first time in 20+ years. Sooo fun!
28:02 - Whoah, I guess I didn’t notice it during the movie sequences, but what is up with Tom’s voice this time? I don’t know who the actor is, but their voice is SO much more high pitched than either Kevin or Baron… I hope that’s just for this skit…
